Stockbroken is a case featured in Criminal Case as the thirty-eighth case of Mysteries of the Past (Season 4) and the two-hundred ninth case overall. It takes place in the Wolf Street district of Concordia.

Plot

Amidst the market crash of Wolf Street, Constable Ramirez reported a murder. Maddie and the player went to the stock exchange hall to collect stockbroker Abner Milton's stabbed body.

Upon learning the killer ate chili dogs, Rose said there was a chili dog stand in the stock exchange steps. Later, an anonymous tipper told Ramirez that the victim had fought someone in the exchange hall. The team then found enough evidence to arrest investor Easton Belmont for the murder.

During his confession, Easton accidentally said that he stabbed Abner with a dagger because he had stumbled upon his bank bills. While it was assumed in court that the bank bills were counterfeit, Easton refused to say anything more. He was then sentenced to 25 years in prison by Judge Lawson for the murder and for obstruction of justice.

Post-trial, Maddie and the player searched the exchange hall for Easton's supposedly counterfeited bills. There, they found his cashbox, full of bills which (per Diego) were counterfeited using Spanish ink. Per Katherine Woolf, the Spanish ink came from the company El Tintero de Oro. She suggested that they find a company employee's suitcase, which they promptly did in the exchange hall. In the suitcase, they found a client list which listed one address among company names.

Meanwhile, Viola got a sample of her biological father's DNA despite her mother's disapproval. The team then went to the listed address (a basement lodging) to catch the counterfeiter.
